Matt 5:28 seems to make no distinction between married and unmarried, and raises the bar to "merely" looking upon a woman and lusting. Really, the issue is the loveless brutality of it, and the manner in which it inflames the passions of the flesh. Merely looking upon a beautiful naked women or even a couple making love does not necessarily trigger this, but the subjugation, control and selfish nature of the sex acts typical in porn is ungodly. No great gift of spiritual discernment is required to know the difference. However, the total lack of spiritual discernment makes it a puzzling issue for many. > Repressing one's lust/desire (by the way if this is so bad why was it > invented?) only leads to what we see in the Islamic religion. Only for a carnal person. One guided by the Spirit overcomes these passions; there is no need to repress what has been overcome. > Woman are to > be covered up, beaten and, in general, brutilized because these religious > nuts have no other outlet for their feelings. Compare Christ's treatment of women to, say, Mohammed's treatment of them -- or their treatment little children for that matter. Mohammed was a psychotic murderer and pedophile, who taught only bloodshed and oppression. Christ taught love, and treated women with a love that was never lustful, and always unconditional. - Publius -- "It ought never to be forgotten, that a firm union of this country, under an efficient government, will probably be an increasing object of jealousy to more than one nation of Europe; and that enterprises to subvert it will sometimes originate in the intrigues of foreign powers, and will seldom fail to be patronized and abetted by some of them. Its preservation, therefore ought in no case that can be avoided, to be committed to the guardianship of any but those whose situation will uniformly beget an immediate interest in the faithful and vigilant performance of the trust."
